The Preggers Man on Oprah
Filed under: TV News > Gay Gay Gay > Baby Blabber > Oprah Winfrey
The much buzzed about 'pregnant man', Thomas Beatie will be a guest on Oprah's show Thursday.
Beatie's a transgender man that is expecting a child. Though he underwent surgery to switch genders, he kept his female reproductive organs and is nearly six months pregnant.
He tells Oprah that his current wife Nancy is unable to conceive and that's the only reason he's going through with the pregnancy. Beatie was able to conceive via artificial insemination.
Thomas tells Oprah in a show clip, "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."
He expects to deliver a girl around July 3rd.

First is a transexual woman.
So it does`t count as male pregnancy.
She is not a male, because she have a vagina. Ask a doctor.
Is just a transexual woman who wants to appear int he news, ignoring the consecuencies for herself, her partner and their daughter.
Preggers WOMAN on Oprah Springer…see it at 4pm!!! She is NOT a man except between her ears. It's freaky Springer stuff, for sure.
Re: Carolyn – The baby will be raised by two moms … not a mom & a dad.
This is Soooo Wrong and this he/she thing should be destroyed.What's next people breeding with animals!!!!!!!!!!!!
what in the fuck
OH. MY. GOD.
That's so disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POOR CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so messed up..
but awesomeeeee
well, technically he is still a women. i dont know why everyone is all 'pregnant man!' when, he is actually a women. so, no, this is not the first man to be ever be pregnant. because he is actually a she.
She is having a baby not he !
Just because the top half looks male.. the bottom half that counts is still female organs !
So there is no man out there having a baby.
If they wanted to have children so badly, then they could have adopted. It is incredibly selfish for them to this and for their child to have to grow up in this nonsense. Sh@t, I'm starting to sound like a conservative…
Hahaha the other day i was telling my boy friend that if we have kids i want him to have them. And he's like "That's not possible! No way!" But i see now that it is. That is crazyy.
that's a tad freaky.
As a gay man that grew up in South Texas……not really knowing anything at all about gay life. I went deer hunting and fishing and shot guns with my dad….It was hard for me to accept the fact that I was gay. I moved to the huge and amazing city of Houston when I was 19 and had great jobs including bartending at some of the huge and amazing dance bars in the metropolitan downtown maga city that is Houston. some of my clientelle and best customers included Transexuals and Trangendered humans that became great friends that I still talk to today and invite over to my apartment….however….This new realm of life with trans pregnancy is hard even for me to really grasp….BUT….grasp it "I DO"….That is all we can do as humans on this earth….and continue to fight against racism, hate and everything else that makes life as a human being on this planet tolerable. Until the Mars rovers and Titan probes look for us other worlds to live on…we have to face the fact that we are stuck on this little planet together. There is no doubt that we either get along or kill each other fighting for what we think is being supreme a thinking that it is worth fighting for. Until then…..PEREZ RULES
i think it's wicked man. so nice he would do it for his wife. although a man with pregnancy stretch marks. aw but bless
This makes me want to puke…wtf u wanted to be a man…fine….dont fuck a child up forlife…good lord…what a sick fuck
If you become a man, you take everything that comes with it- that includes NOT HAVING A UTERUS!!!
thumbs up!!
i hope they don't have much problems with the untolerant society… they're not really doing any harm to anybody!! to all haters, i say MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS… i'm sure you all look for your own happiness and if you're not doing anything bad to anybody, want to be free about that, right? you don't want anybody to tell you what you can do or how you should…
I'm not a basher by any streatch of the imagination but lets be honest. "He" is biologically a woman no matter what surgery "he " has. His genes are coded female. It is hardle honest to sell this to the world as a "Man" being pregnant. And come on… where will it come out??? It will be a c-section birth but I would bet the child will be screwed up from the hormones the "guy" is takeing to look like a man and not the woman that he biologically is.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!
Im so sick of seeing this!!!!!It is not a man!!!!!!!!!!!! a women is pregnant who wants to be a man!!!!!
OH MY GOD!
I guess he'll be having a c-section
i'd like to know why in a country where free speech is one of our rights, that in cases like this if people find this offensive and say so we are haters? i really think this is going way over the line, i find it absolutely sickening everytime i see a picture of this person i think i have the right to voice that opinion!
SO GROSS!!!!!!!AND SCARY THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY
#525 - Oh my God
Not mine!
i think that is so beautiful
Man…that is so sad…that child will be traumitized for the rest of his/her life…living in a world where the MOM gave birth..not the DAD..OMG..I feel so sorry for the kid.
But the parents are just fucked up!
OMG…I feel so sorry for that kid. That child is going to be traumitized for the rest of his/her life, living in a world where the MOTHER gave birth, not the FATHER…dang…I hope that the kid turns out at least normal compared to the rest of us.
But man the parents have got to be FUCKED UP!!!!!!
so what will the baby call its mom/dad when it grows up a little? Dommy? Maddy? WTF?
………….thats f**ked up
THIS IS NOT A MAN IT IS A WOMAN THAT HAD HER TITS REMOVED AND A FAKE DICK ATTACHED. LETS BE REAL PEOPLE, THERE IS SERIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS AND ANY ONE WHO DOES NOT THINK THERE IS IS A WACK JOB TOO. WHO'S THE DADDY OF THIS CHILD, TOTALLY SELFISH, HAEV THEY THOUGH OF THIS POOR CHILD YET AND THE SHIT IT WILL HAEV TO GO THROUGH. IT IS NOT NATURAL BIRTH IF YOU HAVE HAVE TO GO TO THE CLINIC AND BUY SPIRM. IT IS NOT NATURAL IF YOU WERE BORN A WOMAN AND NOW YOUR A MAN. KEEP MESSING AROUND WITH GOD'S NATURAL ORDER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
This is amazing….now we can see that even men can have babies, it shouldn't only be up to the female…I can't wait for the day that all men can have babies, so both parents can have the opoortunity to conceive. Why should it only be the female??Whoever is against that is an old fashioned asshole.
WTF???????
I feel sorry for that kid, I know I wouldnt want a parent that looks like that, FRRREAK!!!!. YUK!!!!!
I AM 47 YEARS OLD, I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SHIT IN MY DAY BUT THIS REALLY TAKES THE CAKE. THIS IS JUST PLAIN FUCKED UP. WHATS NEXT FOR THE POOR KIDS THESE FREAKS ARE SHITTING OUT. HALF MAN HALF MONSTER????
this is soooooooooo wierd!!!!!! why didnt "IT" have a baby before becoming what "IT" is now?!?!?! this world is becoming sick!!! i have no problemwhith sexuality or transgender…but this is where you cross the line!!! poor baby….its not the baby's fault to come into this world like this….
I AGREE WITH #5 completely!
He's not a fucking man! he's a women. Just because you get you're boobs removed and you look like a man you're not one until you have a dick and balls.
WOO HOO a Manly women got preggers, what's new. hahahaha
Weird or what. I know you said nothing suprises you anymore but come on this is mental.
What about the hormones????!?!?!?!
That's absolutely disgusting. It messes up what god gave him and then he wants to mess up a child's life too. What a sick freak.
Hey MEl
OMG! LMAO this is nuts check this out..
-Vanessa
as for kgb saying this person is a circus freak they need to get their head examined. Why are you sorry for this baby's future? She will have loving mom and DAD. That's like saying every person who adopts or has a surrogate parent is and idiot. Get a grip its 2008 for crying out loud. I give Thomas props for doing this for his wife. They can had a biological child together now and that is a wonderful thing. Thomas is legally a man now and I only wish my husband could have carried our children for nine months.
I am a lesbian. I have NOTHING against the lgbtq community, but for FUCK'S SAKE. This is just one of the MILLION reasons I have for completely disliking transmen. Why is it that they can have it both ways?? This person CHOSE to be a "man", needs special treatment because "the world just doesn't understand", but didn't have the balls (literally) to have the whole surgery and is now going to fuck up the life of a CHILD?? Not to mention all those hormones! This baby is fucked. God help her.
God you people bashing this couple are nothing but idiotic fuckers stuck in the past !! The child will be fine because I am sure her parents will explain the situation to her when she is old enough to comprehend……… after reading most of the comments here I am not surprised that the world is the fucked up place it is!!!!
I'm sorry, but I'm so sick of hearing about this…FOR ONE…if "he" has all of the reproductive parts of a woman then I'm sorry, "he" is WOMAN! Just because you take testosterone to grow facial (and arm pit hair judging by the picture) and you get your breasts removed, that doesn't make you any less of a woman. If you have all the parts…you're a WOMAN. FOR TWO: The media needs to stop presenting this story as "A PREGANT MAN" blah blah blah, I'm sorry, but I appreciate the fact that "he" is trying to be true to himself, and be the man he feels he is, but at the same time, having children is a womans most greatest achievement and the most sacred honor that a woman, just by being born a woman, is privelaged too…so I think it's rather insulting that the media plays this thing like it's really a man having a child. MEN cannot have children.
Man people need to go back to sex ed. Real or not the baby is not coming out of its dick you fucken retards. Theres a thing called c-section. My god…google it if you have too you dumb mother fucks. I cant believe i even had to post this. Fucken dumbshits
wonderful
This is awesome. I mean, a little creepy, but awesome nontheless.
Anyone hating should consider their own shitty lives before throwing stones.
THIS IS SET UP TO SOUND MORE WEIRD THAN IT IS. HE WAS BORN A WOMAN, HE HAS WOMAN PARTS, MINUS THE BREASTS. HE IS STILL A WOMAN, HE STILL HAS A VAGINA SO HE IS CAPABLE OF HAVING A KID. NOTHIND WEIRD, JUST A FLAT CHESTED MANLY LOOKING WOMAN HAVING A KID!!
where's it gonna come out? His fucking pee hole?!?!?
so digusting
OMG that's fuckin' sickening! Honestly, leave that part for the women to do, what do you think we're here for?? lol.
JULY 3rd…same bday im kinda weirded out
Conservative fucks…
ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!! ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!!!!
WTF, you all "preach" about GOD who obviously doesn't exist, since shit like this is happening, but you know what?? I thought the Jesus and the bible preaches about acceptance of others? To not hate other people despite their differences?? Why don't you all practice what you preach!!!!
Man I cannot wait to leave this fucking country and smoke leaglly!
OK…wake up. This individual was a woman and the repro. organs were left. What's so surprising that he's pregnant?
That is the nastiest thing I ever seen in my life!!!! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO??
"He" is not really a "he" if she retained all of her female reproductive organs.
i don't get why every1's saying its sick or calling the person a circus freak, yeah they look like a man but they are doing something for their wife who could never have kids, its not the sorta thing that a man can relate to either.
As for the little girl involved, bless her, her life's not gunna be screwed up, she's not gunna have theropy or whatever, yeah the parents might tell her when she's old enough to understand but they're not exacly going round blurting it out, its just what the media does, they find something and always make it out to be worse then what it is. I say just give them a brake, its their life and they don't want people interferring with it. Yeah i'm only 16/17 and don't know alot but what i do know is that none of the people commenting calling them sick and what not, you wouldn't like it if everyone started saying that shit about you, its their life so let them live it how they want, it's not as if they are committing a crime, they're giving birth and raising a child,
GIVE THEM A BRAKE!!!!
xx
I don't know what the big buzz is, shit its a woman having a baby and there are plenty of women who look like men and get pregnant. The buzz should be having another ugly baby on our hands!
That is some fucked up shit and one fucked up individual ….
Its a woman who looks lik a man there's plenty of women who look lik men n have babies we omg another ugly baby!!!!!!!
Okay, personally I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want. However, this person has CHOSEN TO BE A MALE, hence the transformation. Than the person has decided that they would like to still have the ability to have kids hence not removing any female reproductive organs. First off make up your mind please.
I don't have a problem with what he's doing, whatever you wanna do go ahead. keep it to yourself, don't let your future child be a part of a media circus that is going to ridicule her for the rest of her life.
For all the people that are saying GOOD FOR YOU, WHY IS EVERYONE HATING ON HIM? HE DID IT FOR HIS WIFE! Well no offense people, does anyone know how many orphans are in this world? Why not adopt, why not put your strength time and energy into raising a orphan, giving them a home???
But then again, that would not give the man/woman the 'attention' that he/she is searching for.
MY2CENTS
It's still a woman….. was born a woman.. so why does it say PREGNANT MAN? its not some shocking impossibility happening here.. its a girl turned boy.. having a baby.
Science needs to hurry up and figure out a way that we can all be both male and female, then we won't have to ever feel like we're missing out on anything in life. Hell, then we won't even need each other to reproduce. Sounds like a good plan to me, we're already fucking ourselves anyway.
Arnold (Schwarzenegger–U remember the film,right???) is a visionary=))
LOLZ
but seriously,this is CREEPY…:|:-s
what is this world coming to?????
OK who was the A hole DOC that inseminated him/her whaterver!!!!
OK who was the A hole DOC that inseminated him/her whatever!!!!
that's not natural.
i myself, would not want to be brought into the world like that.
Re: Drew –
No Drew, Gender is a Biological FACT. Just because you want to be something else doesnt mean you can. You may feel that you were born in the wrong sex, but that doesnt mean that you know how it is to be the opposite one and can become it! We all have to live within our limitations.
Anyway, is anybody else here appalled that Gays getting married etc meets SUCH resistance in the US when somebody like THIS can lie about their gender and get official paperwork to back up that lie and then get married etc. Fucking Disgrace!
I think its awesome. Good for him
Ok this is odd, but understandable.
.
.People need to understand that this male IS technically a female.
.
.
I don't know why people are so freaked out. It's just an understanding that people need to get past the MALE issue.
Wow, that kid is going to need a lifetime of psychological help
how is this possible when he/she should be taking male hormone pills to maintain being a man…if he/she stop taking the pills then his arm pits wouldn't be so hairy and he wouldn't have all of that facial hair, that too much testosterone in his body…d pic looks fake anyways.
Snore. Bad logical and rhetorical arguments aside, no one's asking the important question, which isn't WHO IS THE FATHER? (because shouting proves more than the fact that you're an obnoxious individual), but is he getting proper medical care? Is he still taking testosterone and will that affect the development or growth of his child? Does he and his family have proper community support? What's important, of course, moral implications aside, is does this child have the best resources available to him/her by way of famililial/community support? Because rather or not you like it, his child is a part of this world and will inevitably have an affect on it.
If she wanted to be a man that meant shebgave up being a woman…so havin kids is sumthin she shouldn't be allowed to have.
i think it is c00l that he[[she]] is pregrant!!!! s000 f—- every one!!
He better have stopped taking hormones to look like a guy otherwise that baby will come out with severe birth defects which would be really sad and downright abusive.
I agree that it is the choice of the people involved as to whether to do this. But I also agree that going on Oprah isn't the best thing. This child will have to grow up now probably giving interviews every few years of its life until it's 18. Sad for it's welfare. This person needs to stop whoring out to the media and settle in to be a good parent.
FINALLY, NOW MEN CAN FEEL WHAT WOMEN GO THROUGH WITH BIRTH!!! WOOOOTTT
good god what is this world coming to.
So will be born man-ginaly?
That poor baby girl.
Fucking twisted ass people
I have to admit I found it disturbing but what I find more disturbing is the number of close minded bigots on this page. Buy a dictionary look up transgendered it doesn't make you a bad parent or nuts it is who u are. He got pregnant because his partner was unable to and they wanted a biological child. I just wish he had not made it a media circus drawing attention to something that is really no big deal. The kid will have a mom and dad and they could've explained it when it was old enough to understand .I mean really he has a female reproductive sytem so it is just a woman who looks like a man.
I am so tired of gays, lesbians and transgenders always crying about how they want equality and freedom of expression and all that jazz, yet they do whatever they can to bring as much attention to them as possible. If you want everyone to treat you like everybody else, stop shoving the fact that you are gay into people's faces!! Quite frankly, most straight people could care less if you are gay or not! Being gay does not make you special!
WHERE THE HELL IS THAT BABY COMING OUT OF?!?! Nevermind… don't answer that.
fucking disguisting.
Guys come on, he's doing it for his wife.
Plus I doubt the kid will get bullied, how will the kids know who it is? Unless the parents are really stupid, I doubt they'll post pictures of its first day at school.
Be realistic
Re: vf – It was an artificial insemination…can you read? Maybe you should be teased to no end.
WHO THE FUCK WOULD EVER DARE 2 CALL OPRAH ON IDIOT? GET UR SHIT STRAIGHT 4 U GET HURT
its a girl…who labels herself a man, dont be wowed by the fact that another woman is having a child…she is just a dyke.
Thought you might wanna check for this in Oprah tonight. Looks interesting and very bizzare!!
Thomas Beatie say what???????
umm im sitting at work and i read this and i honestly think i just poop'd my pants thats soo distrubing … omg
He is not he, That is she trying to be he because a real He don't get pregnant !
This is an abomination. Please pray for the innocent baby.
i feel this is amazing.
do you know how many children are out there, removed from physically and emotionally abusive homes? how special for this child to know that he was wanted so badly, that his parents did whatever it took to have him? amazing:) this child will be raised in a loving environment, by a MOM and a DAD. isnt that the ideal dream? who the fuck cares that he was born with woman parts? In every other respect he was sure he was a man. But it just so happens that it's a blessing in disguise for him because now he is able to have a child with the woman of his dreams.
i read in a bbc article that he has stopped taking male hormones for the pregnancy. do some fucking research on the subject before you start passing judgement and making naive commentary. its obnoxious as hell to read the ignorance that goes on here.
I agree gay people aren't special… just ordinary people, therefore if they are so ordinary why they have some many problems when they want to serve in the military or navy and why they can't get marry like any ordinary people? Because why a heteresexual marriage can be affected by a homosexual marriage ( should be ordinary, right ). As I you wrote there is not difference because heterosexuals aren't care about homosexual people. they just live and let everyone else do the own thing, right?….. Really? Think again!
